After securing a 1-0 victory against rivals Brighton at the Amex, it finally seemed like Crystal Palace had turned a corner, as they broke out of a 12-game winless streak. However, the Eagles were pegged back once again, as they suffered a damning defeat against Burnley in their last Premier League match. It was further disappointment midweek for Oliver Glasner, as his side were only able to draw (1-1) against Bosnian side Zrinjski Mostar in the Conference League. 

Palace have at least shown improvements in the final third, as they have scored in each of their last seven matches across all competitions, but the main concern for them is how leaky they have been at the back - they have only kept two clean sheets since the start of January. 

Wolves haven’t been particularly impressive in the final third this season, but they will fancy their chances of causing problems against Palace, especially after their result against Arsenal last time out. Wolves also netted against Chelsea a few weeks back, and have scored in four of their last six away league matches (v Everton, Man United, Liverpool, and Arsenal).

After going 2-0 down in the 56th minute, it looked like Wolves were on track to suffer their 20th league defeat of the season, but Rob Edwards’ men showed character to fight back and level the scores in the 94th minute. Wolves are still rock bottom of the league, 17 points adrift of safety, but they are still battling. 

Wolves rank top of the charts for total fouls committed this campaign, averaging 13.44 infringements per game. That number rises to 14.38 when they play away, which has translated to an average of 2.62 yellow cards per game. 

Anthony Taylor dished out five yellow cards in the reverse fixture between the sides at Molineux, with Wolves accounting for two of those. This selection has landed in 11 out of 13 Wolves games on the road this season, while Palace have drawn at least two cards in six of their last seven league games at Selhurst Park.

Jorgen Strand Larsen will get the chance to face his former club this weekend, not too long after departing from the Midlands. The Norwegian international scored just one goal in 22 Premier League appearances for Wolves this season, but has already doubled that tally for his new club, despite only featuring twice. 

Strand Larsen bagged himself a brace against Burnley in his last Premier League game, registering a total of three shots. He also had plenty of service on his debut against Brighton, again registering three shots, with two hitting the target. He has hit the ground running for his new club, and will hope to keep his scoring form up. 

The 26-year-old will have plenty of experience against these Wolves defenders, and will know just how to find chances. With Jean-Philippe Mateta out injured, Strand Larsen has become a key player for Palace, and he will hope to establish himself as the first choice starter going forward.

The striker has looked eager to impress since moving to South London, and Strand Larsen has really been putting himself about. He accrued three fouls on his debut against Brighton, which saw him pick up a booking, before then committing two fouls against Burnley. Palace recorded 20 fouls as a team across those two matches, and Strand Larsen accounted for a quarter of those infringements. 

He should find duels against Yerson Mosquera here - the centre back has been adept at drawing soft fouls at the back for Wolves, and he will want to frustrate Strand Larsen. Mosquera is averaging 1.98 fouls drawn per 90 in the Premier League this season, with that figure rising to 2.26 when playing away. 

He has drawn multiple infringements in each of his last four league matches on the road, and he looks well poised to increase that streak this weekend with a solid matchup.
